Growth Mindset Parent Night: Thursday, September 6th at 6pm:
We hope you can join us for this fun and informational evening. The Growth Mindset Parent Night, Presented By Dr. Blake Brandes, is 45 minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of Q&A, and it gives parents and guardians practical ways to support their students with the Growth Mindset. There are many easy things parents can do to set their students up for success by using the Growth Mindset, from “praising the process, not the person,” to “using the Power of Yet” and helping students transfer the Growth Mindset from one part of their life (like sports or video games) to school. We hope you can join us for this fun and informational evening. Looking forward to seeing you there!
